NSS 703 reception.

[pala]

I am located at 100.67 deg E & 4.86 deg N. (Malaysia). I am trying to receive channels from this satellite NSS 703 57 deg. E, able to receive analog channel but snowy, I have even ugraded my Dish from 6ft solid to 8ft solid type but not able to receive the digital stations from this satellite especially Sun TV channels.
The feedhorn is chappral coroto II plus fitted with Super California LNBs C & KU bands, the Dish is moving type. able to receive from Thaicom 2 & 3, Panasat 7 & 10, Asiasat 2, Asiasat 3s , Insat 2b,3e .
Can anyone help.

tks.

If you have a snowy picture on analogue there is a good chance that digital reception will not happen.

I would first try to get the front end of the dish cleaned up by using a dedicated feed and LNB for this satellite. This means getting rid of the CoRotor and finding a feed with a matched illumination to the F/D of the dish

What make of dish is it ?

Sorry, It is california brand but made in Taiwan.

I have on hand C Band Zinwell dedicated feed LNB what is your opinion.

Please explain what is matched illumination to the F/D of the dish.

thanks

 

[Channel Hopper]

The f/d ratio of the dish equates to the angles required by the feed for optimum illumination

The figure could be anwhere from 0.3 to about 0.5 depending on the dish parameters

Feeds range from 35 to 55 degrees on average

I have fitted wih the Zinwell LNB which has Di-electric plate and aligned to NSS 703, I could receive signals strength 82 and quality level 39 -48 the pictures flacuating pictures comes on freeze and no pictures, is it interference or weak signal or dish not sufficient Please advise

 

[Channel Hopper]

Still sounds like the best cure would be to check the dish for accuracy in reflector shape / pointing accuracy

The Zinwell is probably not the best choice for a quality built LNB

What is your reccomendation on the brand and type. ple advise.

What options does your local shop or dealer have to offer ?

The main details to look for are (funnily enough , not noise figure with C band ) Stability , phase noise

The better the stability, the easier it is for the receiver to accurately lock onto the centre of the required transponder

The better the phase noise, the better the final output signal to noise ratio

Sorry I forget mention when i fitted this ZINWELL lnb the polarity on the channel changed originally H I had to change to V to receive channel infact I had to do it for most of the channels.

Yuri Japanese, Super California,infosat. locally available. Please reccommend if I need to purchase overseas i have to .
Sorry to mention with this LNBF zinwell the Polarity setting on channel setting has to be changed H to V originally if it was vertical had to change to Horizotal to receive picture.

 

[Channel Hopper]

They all appear to be local brand names of other manufacturers.

Ive seen Super California in a number of Dubai outlets.

You should really be looking for something from California Amplifier, Chaparral (though these vary in quality) and maybe Gardiner (if you can still find one).

Locally I am able to purchase Yuri , Super California, infosat, .
Please advise i don't mind exporting from overseas,.
Sorry forget to mention when I fitted with this Zinwell type the polarisation changed original on channel was H had to change to V to receive picture what is your opinion
